No. 6 Stonehill Powers Past New Haven

from press release

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Junior Meghan Smith
(Pittsford, N.Y.) tallied four goals, including the
100th of her career, but the Saint Anselm College
women's lacrosse team fell to sixth-ranked Stonehill College, 20-5,
at Melucci Field on Thursday afternoon.

The Hawks fall to 1-5 on the
season, including 1-3 in Northeast-10 play, while the Skyhawks
improve to a perfect 8-0, 5-0 NE-10.

Smith became just the fourth
student-athlete in program history to reach the 100-goal
milestone.

Kayla Green led Stonehill with five
goals, while Sarah Galligan and Kelsey Reilly each scored three
apiece.

Stonehill raced out to a 5-0 with
17:07 remaining in the first half, as Green bookended the five
unanswered goals. Back-to-back scores from Smith and senior Leigh
Krzyston (Bedford, N.H.) sliced the Saint Anselm deficit to three
at the 8:18 mark, but Stonehill got one back with 6:13 to go and
took the 6-2 lead into the locker room.

The Skyhawks came out and buried
three goals to open up a 9-2 lead just five minutes into the second
half, but Smith answered with three straight of her own –
career goals No. 99, 100 and 101 – as the Hawks cut it back
to four with 20:37 to play. Smith's 100th came on a
free-position shot at the 22:12 mark.

Stonehill responded with 11
unanswered goals, however, to put the game out of reach.
